Week 34: How to fix a washer? No problem!



Monday we got up and Elder Nelson and I looked at our washer that has been broken for about 3 weeks. We called the office to fix it but the first guy, all he did was take our Money and didn´t fix anything. They called him back and he didn´t answer so we where just waiting. When we woke up we just thought, lets just fix it American style. We went and bought some tools & ripped out the dryer motor and some other parts that were broken. We went and bought the stuff and threw it all back together and now that thing washes and drys pretty well! After we emailed home & then had two different family home evenings planned for the same time so we did splits with some of the Young Men. Productive p-day but not the funnest.

Tuesday we hit it hard back into the work. We started off playing some hard core basketball. We played with a couple members then we came home and got cleaned up and studied. We left in the morning but had little success. We didn´t have any set appointments so that is usually what happens when you leave in the morning. We came back and ate and stuff then headed back out. We met the mom of a new family who is pretty cool and interested. After that we went to our awesome investigator, Walner. He is progressing super well and we even got a member who knows creo to come with us and they were talking in that language and it was pretty cool! After him we went to another appointment and found the wife of the couple and talked to her a bit. She is really cool! We then let the member go and went and talked with a less active we found contacting. She is the mom of this family but is the only member. She has a good family and it will be nice to teach them. After that we went to our awesome appointment with a guy, Ishmael. He is the dad of a family of 3 and his wife. They are a reference of a member and we went by to see her but only her husband was home so we got to know him. He is actually really cool! He was really open and really wants to know more! After him though we went to another family home evening. We taught a lot of people the restoration and related it to building a house. We used people to fake build a house with support columns and it turned out really good! Pretty good day in general though.

Wednesday was pretty basic. We started the day off with about a 10K run with twins for about an hour and a half! It was pretty gnarly! After that we studied and showered & went to our district meeting. That was fun as they can be haha! After we just came home and ate. In the afternoon we started off at our stake center for interviews with our mission president. After we came home and met up with the twins we ran with in the morning and did divisions. I had a really good day and all my appointments went smooth and good. We talked with a inactive and animated her to start living the Gospel of Jesus Christ again. We talked to two other investigators but then went to our fourth family home evening this week! We had another really good turn out and Bishop & his wife even showed up. I talked with all of them about how the commandments and love are related. It was a good night and they even fed us and I left barley being able to walk haha!

Thursday we started the day off at Dariely’s house. She is an investigator preparing for baptism. She is scheduled to be baptized 22nd of April. We only went to her in the morning so we came back and did the whole lunch thing. In the afternoon we started at a Young men’s house and talked with his family who live in our Ward but go to a different one because they have more friends in the other Ward. We just talked with them a little bit and gave some words of encouragement. After him we went to a less active and talked to him. We shared the importance of a testimony of the Book of Mormon and how it can also bless our lives a lot.
         
Friday we played basketball in the morning. We came home as always to get cleaned up and studied. We planned the week today and that went well and it is always good to talk about how we can improve. When we left for the afternoon we had a member leave with us. It was a pretty normal day until our last appointment. We had the Bishop and his wife with us and taught this family who were super interested and asked really good questions! It was a super long lesson because they had so many awesome questions! We will but a baptism date with them this coming week!

Saturday we started off playing some basketball. I won both of my games. After that we got cleaned up and talked with on of our more progressing investigators. After her we just went home and ate lunch. In the afternoon we worked hard. I am writing this late and I don't remember what we did but it was a fast day haha!


Sunday was fun! We had a good turn out and we got a less active that hasn´t been to church in over a year and a half to come back! After church we just ate and sat on the roof and I fell asleep and got a little toasted. After that we just went to our appointments. We started at a less actives house. We continued to share how the Book of Mormon can also bless our lives and what it means if the book is true. After him we went to Walner, our awesome investigator! We gave him a Book of Mormon and started to talk about the Gospel of Jesus Christ as he prepares for his baptism. After him we went and talked to a couple contacts that are pretty cool. After them we went to another appointment we had and it fell through. We then went back to where we were before then talked with a family. It was a  pretty good Sunday!
